Pokeberry Dye

Has anyone made and used Pokeberry dye?  Definitely on my list this summer!

It can also be used as an ink or watercolor.

  1. No, but t I am intrigued given we have poke berry bushes popping up in our yard. The birds love them.

  2. Wish it grew near me. I'd love to dye wool with this. Beautiful!

    1. ...and I wish I hadn't karate kicked every pokeberry plant I've come across this year so far.

      This reminds me I used pokeberry as my "find a natural dye" homework in grade school.
